Evening Standard runs, then drops, report on Evian protest

Yesterday the Evening Standard ran a front page piece on Evian protests, reporting the 10 mile exclusion zone, the cutting of the rope by police and injury of Martin Shaw, and showing a front page photo of riot police pointing batons at an apparently unconscious protester. By the afternoon, they'd dropped THE WHOLE STORY.
Perhaps the Evening Standard didn't mean to show the police brutality at Evian, and then realised they had. The story included the front page photo (as in summary above), and continued the story on p.5, which gave full details together with a biography of Martin Shaw.
By the afternoon (when I found another copy inthe tube) they'd DROPPED THE WHOLE STORY - EVERY REFERENCE. I've never seen this happen before: sometimes the order of stories will change from front page etc, or a photo will be droppped, but not the whole story. All they did to fill the missing space was to MAKE THE PHOTO OF TONY BLAIR ON P.5 BIGGER.
